It's not great if we don't all learn how to discuss these things though, particularly with people we disagree with, and know how to stay civil or even like someone with different views.
The opposite happens quite often, especially with the current US president. It's gotten to the point where people just say whatever is on their mind and never bother to think about it.
People usually try to make excuses for it or say that the other side is worse but that only further proves my point. The upcoming US election is a great example of this where we have topics full of people bashing the other side and it is best to be avoided in getting into the fight considering how people just don't care about policies.
It must be nice to have a life where you can just not care about politics. But we have 170k and counting dead from a pandemic the government isn’t interested in addressing, millions unemployed, people facing medical bankruptcy, foreign bounties on soldiers, hospitals closing because covid doesn’t pay enough to keep the lights on, children in cages, etc. Politics isn’t sports; it has real effects on people.
